Waiting for the bus
Be at the bus stop on time. Stand well away from the curb; wait quietly for the bus.
Wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before boarding.
Don’t crowd your friends getting on or off the bus; board and exit one at a time.
Never play or stand in the aisles; find a seat and sit down.
Riding on the bus
Listen to the bus driver and monitor; follow their directions!
Don’t stick anything out the windows.
Stay in your seat.
Talk quietly with your friends.
Don’t throw things in the bus.
Getting on, off, and around the bus
Avoid the Danger Zone, because it’s difficult for the driver to see you in this area.
Take 10 giant steps beyond the front bumper of the bus before you turn to cross the street. This lets the driver maintain eye contact with you while you cross.
Look both ways before crossing a street, and wait for driver’s signal.
NEVER cross the street behind the bus!
Keep away from the bus if you drop or forget something.
